" I know what it is to be in need, an I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty, or in want. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Philippians 4:12-13

God we are silent before you, we are still in your presence, you chose us first, on the cross you loved us first. Christ your love is deeper, wider, higher, farther for us than we could ever imagine, you are God alone, you are unsearchable, you are the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, and lord your grace is sufficient for me. Prepare in me a heart, a mind, a fear that will always follow you, and your will for my life. That will always be in awe of you. that will always bring me to my knees broken and crying out to you. A servants heart, a leaders heart, a prayerful heart, that will always walk in the light to glorify you with my life. I cannot wait for that day when you wipe away the tears from my face, it will be a glorious day, when we see you face to face. Thanks for always being faithful, and never leaving me nor forsaking me. Our God is a God who saves. So what can I do for you Lord. Use me, grow me, teach me, and lead me by the Holy Spirit. Amen

Christ is first in my life, because he is magnificantly first at everything, and it is simply my recognition of who he is! He is first because he is better than me at everything. Anything I can try to do he can do it better. He is first because he passionately loves me, there is nothing I can do to make him love me more, there is nothing I can do, to make Him love me less. He loves me perfectly right now, so he is first in my life, because he is passionately crazy about me whether I am doing well or not, whether i am performing beautifully or not. Whether I just sinned misereably or not, he is nuts about me, hes crazy about me, now how can someone like that not be FIRST, when they made you first, he made me first, he went to the cross for me, he thouroughly sacrificed himself for me, he made me first, and when I come to gripst with that depth of love with his passion for me its seems incongruent to allow anything else to be first! HE'S GOT TO BE FIRST. Thats why I am second! -iamsecond.org
